Building side projects is easy.
Getting people to actually notice and try them? That’s the hard part.
That’s why I built SideHunt — a platform where side projects and indie launches go live every week, compete, and get discovered by real users.
💡 What is SideHunt?
SideHunt is a weekly product launch platform focused on side projects and indie products.
It allows makers to submit their projects, get votes from the community, and gain visibility through structured weekly launches.
Instead of randomly sharing your project across platforms, SideHunt gives you a dedicated launch cycle where your product gets attention.
⚡ Why SideHunt?
One of the biggest problems for indie makers is distribution.
You build something great — but:
No one sees it
No one tries it
No feedback, no traction
SideHunt solves this by creating a competitive, community-driven launch environment where products actually get noticed.

🌱 Why I Built SideHunt
I noticed a common pattern:
Most side projects never get the attention they deserve.
Not because they’re bad — but because they never reach the right audience.
SideHunt is my attempt to fix that.
A place where:
Builders can launch consistently
Users can discover new ideas
Projects can grow through real engagement
📣 Early Feedback
We’re still early, but the goal is simple:
Make launching side projects fair, visible, and community-driven.

Getting your first users
Collecting feedback
Gaining visibility
